Lomonosov (Imperial) Porcelain Imperial Porcelain (formerly Lomonosov) The highest-quality brand of Russian tableware, established in 1744. It is the third oldest porcelain kiln in Europe, after Meissen and Augarten. Founded by Empress Elizabeth, it is still the official tableware for Russian government banquets. Some patterns are also sold at Mariage Frères and TWG. The pattern this time is "Classic" "Song of Leningrad" We have introduced the first "no gold trim" [dishwasher safe, microwave safe] type. You can easily heat it up in the microwave. The original pattern is a traditional design from several decades ago, but we have removed the gold trim and changed the size of the pattern. It's an elegant mug with a vibrant, deep cobalt blue, featuring a continuous geometric pattern reminiscent of castle walls, cobblestones, or stools. It has a modern feel, but also a touch of the old, and the slightly wavering lines are characteristic of Lomonosov. The usual vibrant cobalt blue that seems to bleed. Cup: Diameter approx. 9.5cm, Height approx. 9.5cm [Saucers are not originally included] It has a very stable form, making it perfect for desk work. It's also nice that it's light for its size. Large mug size, approximately 350cc when full, so it holds about 300cc. (The actual capacity of Starbucks mugs is 360cc or more (not when full), so it's "a slightly larger type for a typical Japanese mug, but not as big as a Starbucks mug"… is that the idea?) ★Lomonosov ceramics tend to have imperfections due to the country's characteristics and the many handmade processes. Paint errors, glaze splashes, uneven gold trim or paint, small scratches, etc., are almost always present if you look closely, so please understand. Many are made using the traditional "upside-down firing" method, so the rim of the cup has a unique "smooth" texture, like some Royal Copenhagen cups.
